doctorambientOk, why do people keep doing this:
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)
when the first call automatically loads the package in the second call? Am I missing something here?
I see this **everywhere**!
IrisDark times call for desperate measures, and with my career being a little hosed and my wanting to like, have money to pay rent, I'm writing a book! It's about teaching R users to write code like software engineers do, and the hope is that I can use it partially as content marketing for my coaching offerings. Here's the first chapter:
R the Software Engineering Way: Introduction and Chapter Zero | deadSimpleTech
It is worth noting from the very beginning that a software engineer's work doesn't start with writing code, but with setting up the development environment and the tools that they need to write code effectively. Good tooling can make the difference between you writing clean, tight, maintainable code on the one hand and creating an unmaintainable abomination on the other. This entire first chapter, then, is dedicated to setting up a development environment that lets you build things in R in a consistent, reproducible and easy to fix or revert way. We'll start with basic command line skills, move on to version control and then finally discuss containerisation and the setting up of a development container for your project.
Yesterday's RoseJust published the code that I used for creating the #NaNoWriMo #writing progress graphs in the previous years. It's in #Jupyter format, written in #rlanguage. I'll clean it up later and probably add more rambling on the documentation side later on!

N-gated Hacker NewsOh joy, another statistical computing environment! ๐ #LispStat promises to be the R you didn't ask for, but in Lisp, because why not add some parentheses to your data woes? ๐ค Perfect for those who enjoy statistical analysis with a side of vintage programming language nostalgia. ๐๐ด

New blog post!
This time I walk you through setting up a local version of RStudio-Server in Podman in order to get a reproducible environment with most R packages you need pre-installed.
This should work on any Linux system that supports Podman.
